BALTIMORE,Md.,June 11,2019 -- From June 8-11,Vitamin World,a leading specialty brand for health products in the United States,was proud to support Nutrition 2019,the annual flagship meeting organized by the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) and the premier global event focused on nutrition science. Many of the greatest minds in the field gathered together to identify and discuss solutions to today's greatest nutritional challenges,with over 3,600 world-class nutrition professionals attending the event in Baltimore.

Senior Vice President Jennifer Heitmeyer participated on behalf of Vitamin World. For 42 years,Vitamin World has been widely acknowledged for providing the industry's highest quality supplements and currently offers more than 500 leading products covering 14 functional categories. Customers have always appreciated the company's longstanding dedication to providing them with exceptional products. This commitment has led to Vitamin World winning the "USA Consumer Satisfaction Award" six times and receiving a superior 90% recommendation rate from customers according to the leading global market research firm Ipsos.

At Nutrition 2019,Vitamin World contributed in particular to the Dietary Bioactive Components Forum,organized by the ASN's Dietary Bioactive Components Research Interest Section (RIS),a community of scientists dedicated to examining how such compounds play an active role in improving health,anti-oxidation,anti-inflammation,and reducing the risk of chronic disease. Today,numerous types of bioactive elements exist in diets,including active polysaccharides,vitamins,minerals,and polyphenols,and these convey many health benefits to people. The scholars who participated in the forum's discussion had the opportunity to exchange their views on the latest developments in antioxidant research.
